Production Shortfall Analysis
A manager of an olive oil production facility is investigating a recent production shortfall. The facility uses a robotic technology where each system requires one worker and 400 kWh of energy to produce 100 liters of oil per day. The manager had planned to operate 10 systems, staffed by 10 available workers, to produce a target of 1,000 liters. However, the final output for the day was only 800 liters. A review of the utility records shows that only 3,200 kWh of energy was consumed. Based on this information, identify the specific input that limited production and explain why the target output was not achieved.

A company operates a robotic olive oil production facility where each system requires exactly one worker and 400 kWh of energy to produce 100 liters of oil per day. The production process is such that total output increases proportionally with the number of complete systems in operation. If the company has 12 workers available and access to 4,000 kWh of energy for the day, what is the maximum amount of olive oil they can produce?

Production Input Constraints
An olive oil production facility uses a robotic system where each unit requires one worker and 400 kWh of energy to produce 100 liters of oil per day. The facility currently operates 5 units, using 5 workers and 2,000 kWh of energy. If the facility manager hires a sixth worker but keeps the energy supply at 2,000 kWh, the daily olive oil production will increase.
An olive oil producer uses a robotic technology where each complete system requires one worker and 400 kWh of energy to produce 100 liters of oil per day. Match each production scenario (available inputs) with the correct maximum daily output.
